I got these at a second hand store. I paid about $10 total.The Bulova is in a clamshell case that folds out into 3 sections. It is 14k RG. Both of the others are stainless, but I don't know how to open them. All are working.

Yes, it's a home run. |

Thanks, Zaf. Now for the ten thoesand dollar question. Any idea on the value? The Buren could use a new crystal, it's pretty scratched up and the timer/reset buttons show some brassing. The LeCoultre looks nearly perfect. The Bulova has some of the finish worn off the back and could probably use a polishing. Thanks for all your help. |

I would not recommend restoring either the Buren or Bulova as you would not recover your costs. The Buren is probably worth $125 as it is and the Bulova $50-75. The LeCoultre is worth $250-350+. It all depends on the venue and how much mechanical work they need. |
